Anger the Fool

Ephesians 4:25-27 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Neither give place to the devil.


Yeah well I fell short tonight and wasn't a very good example to my family, may God forgive me. I had thought I had done so well yesturday... I had a very trying day but in the long run realized that being soft spoken got me so much further than losing my head. I do think I got through to my son better, and he heard me rather than putting up a wall and grabbing some boxing gloves.

Colossians 4:5-6 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

I hate it though when my teenagers talk to me as if I am an idiot (been there done that so I know when they are up to no good and lying about it) but even more than that they talk to me like they run the house!

2 Corinthians 11:16-19  I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little. That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

You know what happens when I worry about looking like the fool and worry about not winning the fight and yada yada yada......... I LOOK LIKE THE FOOL after all is said and done.

Colossians 3:20-21 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger , lest they be discouraged.

Yeah we know that children are to obey us, but in the same token we owe the the same respect we ask for in return.

Yesturday... calm cool collected and the kid listened
Today... I lost my ever loving mind and the kid didn't get the lesson
